Overview
- Daniel Waterman, 22, died on Oct. 8 from injuries suffered in a Feb. 9 crash, prompting an Oct. 24 upgrade of charges against Leigha Mumby to vehicular homicide.
- Mumby was booked into the Flagler County Jail this week on the amended charge and released after posting a $150,000 bond.
- After waking from a coma, Waterman told investigators Mumby intentionally caused the crash during an argument and said, “I don’t care what happens, you’ll get what you deserve.”
- Investigators report the car accelerated to more than 90 mph into a tree, and the family’s attorney says evidence indicates no braking at impact.
- Court records show Mumby pleaded not guilty to initial charges filed in July, with no plea recorded on the homicide count as the family seeks a paternity test and custody of the newborn.
